Hundreds of drug incidents on school campuses

Did you know that every year, right inside our Bay area schools, hundreds of drugs are confiscated?

In Hillsborough schools alone, there were 537 incidents of drug possession last year.

“That is nuts. That is uncomfortable and crazy,” said Shawn Alleman, parent of a 12-year-old girl.

‘Something needs to be done,’ said Alleman.

When it comes to Manatee County schools, there were 87 drug possession referrals last year. Pasco County Schools had 177, while there were 361 in Polk County schools and 483 incidents in Pinellas County.
